Abstract

After placement of a nasogastric tube through a rigid oesophagoscope it is necessary to transfer the proximal end from the mouth to the nose. Observation of surgeons performing this apparently simple task has indicated that many find it somewhat difficult. We describe a simple solution to the problem.
